The Southeast Michigan BSD User Group meets monthly for presentations, discussions, socializing, and networking. Local BSD folks involved include BSD author Michael W Lucas and OpenBSD alumni Nick Holland.
Time and Location: 7 PM, Altair Engineering, 1820 E. Big Beaver Rd. Troy MI 48083 . We're in the Innovation Center, easily accessible from the front lobby. If you're not sure you're at the right place, once you go into the lobby you'll see a great big glowing triangular logo looming over you. It's highly impressive.
USUAL AGENDA: Meetings run something like this.
- Lucas tries to give the job of chairman to someone else
- Welcome and abuse of new members
- Jobs offered and needed
- Tech questions (no answers, only questions)
- Presentation
- Official meeting adjourns
- Dinner and answers to questions
2017 MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS: Here's our next few months of presentations. Presentations are not recorded at this time. See the history page for old meetings.
SemiBUG has a shared Google Calendar of meetings. And a Twitter account, @semibug_ (note the trailing underscore).

If an out of town visitor appears at the last minute--say, if the lives of Bob Beck or Peter Wemm take a ghastly turn that brings them to Detroit -- we reserve the right to change dates, speakers, and pretty much everything so that we can fully exploit their presence.

1. I say inimitable, but we're imitating NYCBUG. "Inimitable" is the new "literally."
